These delicious, soft carrot oatmeal cookies are like eating a slice of carrot cake! Filled with shredded carrots, oatmeal and spices they are moist and hearty.
Combine the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk to mix.
1 ¼ Cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats, ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Allspice, ⅛ teaspoon Salt

½ Cup Butter, ½ Cup Maple Syrup, 2 Eggs, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together a few strokes with a spatula.

1 Cup Grated Carrots
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Use a ¼ cup (or a large ice cream scoop) to scoop the cookie dough into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets spread about 2 inches apart. Flatten the balls slightly so they resemble hockey pucks.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are just set.
Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
